Democratic Reform Resolutions.

The following resolutions were offered be-
fore the Crescent Democratic Club, Of Balt-
more city, at its meeting last Friday night.
The Crescent Club is strong and infuen-
tial organization and If the members of it are
in earnest they can do great deal towards
securing pure elections in Baltimore city.
1t is generally believed that elections there
are not above suspicion, and that "for ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain" the
Baltimore city politician is unsurpassed. In
the counties, however, We have no doubt
elections are fairly conducted. Speaking for
Hartford county We know they are. The
Judges of election are careful and impartial
men. No man Is allowed to vote here who
is not entitled to do so, and the votes are
honestly counted. The resolutions referred
to are as follows:
whereas there is no doubt that a reform of the
methods now used by the management of the
Democratic party in the city and State is abso-
lutely necessary; whereas this reform should BIO
made inside the party lines and should be direct
ed In the first instance to the securing OF fair pri-
mary and general elections. Therefore, be 1t re-
j. That the Crescent Club will not only make
q decided stand in favor of fair elections, but
make 1t in such a public and practical way that
the whole community may know and have con-
hdence in the sincerity of its purposes.
9. That the club will insist and demand that
all primary elections under the control Of the
city conventions be held under the provision and
subject to the penalties of the primary election
law.
3. That 1t will insist that the board of reyie;,,
provided for by the law. shall be conn osed of
gentlemen whose integrity s above suspicion and
who have the confidence of the community.
4. Tbatie will further insist upon the appoint
-afent of judges and clerks for both primary and
general elections of like high character, and to
secure this result. will appoint special committees
to investigate the character and fitness of all per-
sons suggested as judges and clerks, and make,
in the manner provided by law, objections TO all
improper persons. furnishing Herewith the proof
Of their unftness.
5. That the city convention should be called
at as early period as practicable, so as to give
sufficient time for intelligent criticism of its ac-
tons.
0. That the club demands the nomination of
delegates to the General Assembly of Maryland
pledged to support an election and annual regis
traton law similar TO the Tilden law of New
York.
Z. In order to accomplish these purposes and
to prevent any merely factona struggle the
clubinvites the active cooperation Of all Demo-
Gratis in sympathy with these resolutions.

COURT PRoCEEDINGs.-The case of VIM.
Durham vs. Randolph Slade, executor of John
b. Slade, removed here from Baltimore county,
was concluded last Friday. This was case for
warranty of title in deed. Jury trial; YER
Williams for plaintiff, Maynadier and Henry
w. Archer for defendant.
On Friday the case of Robert A. Preston vs..
A. A. Blakeney, also a removed case from Balti-
more county, was begun. The plaintiff sued
the defendant for 5000 for injuries received
while at work in constructing dam for the
defendant, at Franklinville Cotton Mills, Balti-
more county. 1t was in evidence that the
dam was washed away by the great a)od on
the Sd of August, 1885. On the 18th of s0ptem-
Der Preston was at work wheeling stone in q
wheelbarrow across the breast of the dam, and
accidentally fell off, bruising himself severely,
but breaking no bones. 1t was also shown that
in letter TO Mr. Blakeney he offered to compro-
mise the case for 5000.
The evidence for the plaintiff was that
the crossing over which Preston was wheeling
stone was narrow and dangerous and was also
obstructed by MINDLESS. The case was con-
cluded on Saturday, the jury bringing in YER
dict for the defendant. Williams and VIM.
Young for plaintiff, Henry W. Archer and May
nader for defendant.
The case of Thos. d. Davis VS.. the P, w. and
b. Railroad Company, being removed case
from Baltimore county, was commenced on
Monday. The counsel for the plaintiff were s.
A. Williams, VIM. Young and John T. Ensor,
and for the railroad company Hon. Henry d.
Farnandis, Thos. II. Robinson and John T..
Donaldson. The suit was for damages to a
house owned by Mr.. Davis on tue corner of
Clinton and Boston streets, Baltimore, which,
ii is alleged, has been rendered uninhabitable,
by reason of the railroad company raising its
tracks and the bed of Clinton street, whereby
water from the street was turned into Mr..
Davis's cellar, injuring the walls and timbers
and rendering the property insecure. In pre-
vious trial of the case, at Towsontown, last
November, verdict for $1,000 damages was
awarded to Mr.. Davis. This was set aside by
the court on the ground of misconduct of one
OF the jurors. On Tuesday morning the Jury,
10 charge of the Sheriff, went to Baltimore and
were taken on a special train to the property,
so that they might view it for themselves. The
jury consisted of VIM. Gibson, David Wilson,
Patrick Kennedy, John K McFadden John A.
Mitchell, Kennedy Bay, VIM. s. Davis, VIM. F.
Kesslng G. Worth Shrodes, Thomas Kehoe,
Christian Smith and Richard II. Wiley. The
case is not concluded.
The other petit jurymen were finally dlscharg-
ed on Monday.

IN MEMORY
OF Miss LIDIA MEEHAN, who Died March 18th,
1896, aged 20 Yearh.

Of Miss LIDIA MEEHAN, who Died March 18th
1886, aged 20 years.
Thus, in the springtime of her life,
Its music and its bloom,
Loves shining halo round her cast
With naught of sorrows gloom.
Disease, with stealthy step crept in
Beside hopes golden lutte,
With ruthless hand he snapped the strings,
The silver chords grew mute.
Alas that every JOY of life
Is echoed by woe;
That those the heart most fondly loves,
Are ever first to go.
Some souls are lent to shed CLEAN
OF brightness for day
Too soon they plume the wings unseen,
And heavenward speed their way.
So this dear SOUL too finely formed
For woes and cares of this,
With yearning love pinned for that world,
Eternal in its bliss.
Oh mother. sore bereft,
Look up and dry those tears;
And see your loved one throned In JOY
For never ending years.
S. WEIGH.
